Date du début: 1 mai 2016, Date de fin: 30 avr. 2018 PROJET  TERMINÉ 

YOU.COM aims at enhancing the skills and the international dimension of youth organizations through a process of exchange and debate of ideas, knowledge, practices and experience. The purpose is to develop a new model of non-formal learning in the field of recycling and to increase youth knowledge and creative abilities to envisage opportunities of growth and innovative social entrepreneurship.The project involves 6 European organizations from Europe (Italy, Belgium, Spain, Poland, Turkey) and 4 Partner Countries from Africa (Tanzania, Uganda, Togo) and Asia (Nepal). The recent EU policies promote the action of recycling to create a model of “circular economy” in which the waste disappears and new job opportunities can be created. On the contrary, in the Partner Countries, plans to eliminate products of waste are nearly absent. The project aims to bring out the needs and opportunities of the local communities involved, ensuring the involvement of motivated and proactive organizations and young people to find together answers and solutions.The activities proposed include: online meetings and one meeting in Italy for a face-to-face confrontation among the partners aiming at the exchange of good practices to the innovation of educational and social activities for young people; the planning of the content of the OER and dissemination through an online platform; testing and implementation of the OER with 32 young people (16 form Europe, 4 from Asia and 12 from Africa) aged from 18 to 26: they will carry out workshops, reports and EVS mobility. The methodology will be that one of the participatory planning and peer education. The main results are: the creation of OER and the platform for their communication to the target groups and stakeholders (this will ensure the sharing and dissemination in all countries of the world); 10 researches about policies about waste in the countries involved and in the EU; 4 products of “creative recycling”; a promotional event. The project will have an impact on youth organizations through the exchange of knowledge on policies, recycling practices and practices of social enterprise in Europe and in the Partner Countries, through the sharing of needs, issues, challenges and possible solutions; on young people in terms of change in their personal capacities (initiative and enterprise, which may result in entrepreneurship and employment opportunities), encouraging the personal well-being and social inclusion of young with lower opportunities. YOU.COM has a detailed dissemination and exploitation plan of outputs through the creation of communication tools and promotional activities. The experience of cooperation between the partners will strengthen peer-to-peer relationships and synergies among organizations, enabling young people to develop social entrepreneurship initiatives and a dialogue with relevant stakeholders that will continue after the project.
